A. 
The original estate of the Hyde family, from which they took their name, was a hide
     of land in the manor of Circourt generally called 'La Hyde de Southcote'.
(fn. 73)
     To this they seem to have added by purchasing land in the north of the parish,
     so that the manor of HYDE was said in (A.D.) 1397 to be at North Denchworth.
(fn. 74)
     They probably held their lands of the manors of Circourt and South Denchworth
     till they themselves acquired those manors; afterwards they are generally said
     to hold all their lands of the Abbot of Abingdon.
(fn. 75)  The Hyde family claimed
     in the 17th Century (Verifying Hyde family primary source entries: Denchworth Missal;
     also,
o
n a tombstone in Denchworth Churchyard it is stated that another family,
     the Wyblyns, were in the parish for five hundred years.
) to have been established
     here since the days of Canute, (additionally, The Victoria County History claims
     other charters were undoubtedly forgeries, suggesting boundary gerrymandering)
     but the first Hyde who is known to have held land in South Denchworth is Warin,
     who lived in the middle of the 13th century.
(fn. 76)  He had two son, Peter and John,
     of whom the former released to his brother and his heirs all right in his father's
     lands at 'La Hyde.'
(fn. 77)  Evidently this is the John de la Hyde who is described
     as a freeman within the manor of Circourt in 1305.
(fn. 78)  He held 1 hide for
     a seventh part of a knight's fee of Walter de L'Orti and Maud
(fn. 79)  His son William
    
(fn. 80) succeeded him and recovered in 1327 a messuage and 4 virgates in Circourt
     against Robert de Mountford, (fn. 81) who also held of the De L'Ortis. (fn. 82)  William's
     successor was known as William Heygarston de la Hyde. (fn. 83)  He had a wife Parnel
     and the two purchased about 1346 from Mary Yve and William Pavy land . . .
     John Hyde William's son and successor, conveyed the 'manor of Hyde' to feoffees
     in 1399. (fn. 86)  It was reconveyed to his son John and Graciana his wife in 1420.
     (fn.87)  The younger John died in 1447, (fn. 88) and was succeeded by a son of
     the same name on whose heirs the manor was settled in the next year, (fn. 89)
     with remainder to his bastard brother Baldwin Hyde.  John had a son John (fn. 90)
     who was succeeded in 1487 by his son Oliver.  (fn. 91)  Oliver died in 1516, leaving
     a son William, who succeeded him.  (fn. 92)  William's son and grandson,
     who followed, bore the same name as himself. (fn. 93)  The latter was succeeded
     in 1598 by his son George, (fn. 94) who sold the manor to the Cokaynes in 1617.
     (fn. 95)  A source in the History is Hyde Deeds quoted by Clarke. . . .;

     The Hyde of Longworth, is found in
     The Landed Gentry, going back to:
     John de la Hyde (an estate in South
Denchworth
     conferred upon his ancestor, according to tradition,
     by King Canute /
Cnut the Great), died 13 July A.D. 1135,
     and was survived by his son:
     Ralph, (died 09 Sep A.D. 1156), leaving a son and heir:
     1. John, called De Cella, [
John of Wallingford]
     from the Abbey's cell at Wallingford, Abbot of St. Albans 1195-1214;
     [

 abbot of St Albans Abbey from 1195 to his death in 1214.  He was
     previously prior of Holy Trinity Priory at Wallingford, a cell of St Albans.
     He studied in Paris, and was considered a great grammarian, poet and physicist.
     His document "flod at London brigge" predicted the high water mark of the Thames,
     and is credited as the first of its type.  His 'Chronica Joannis Wallingford' covers
     evens from 449 to 1036, including the St Brice's Day massacre of the Danes in 1002.

     . . . in connection chiefly with Bedfordshire, and is derived apparently from
     the " Manerium de La Hyde juxta Luton," in that county.  In the Municipal Archives
     of Dublin is preserved a vellum folio volume, The Roll of Dublin Citizens, in which
     occurs the following entry: “A.D. 1226,. . . and . . . the name of Rogerus de La Hide.
     In 1220,
William Marshal, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, in a letter to Hubert de Burgh,
     Justiciary, mentions lands held “ Quodam milite nostro Domino Rogero de Hyda.”
     In 1228, the King granted letters of protection for “ Roger de Hida, gone to Ireland
     on the service of William Marshall, (2nd) Earl of Pembroke.”  In 1243, John de la Hyde
     held the Manor of Ballymadun; his wife was a daughter of Walerand de Weleslé.
     In 1288, the King granted a licence to the Nuns of St. Mary’s, of Hoges, near Dublin,
     to elect an Abbess in the place of Isolda de la Hide, deceased.  In 1335, Walter,
     Hugh and Nicholas de la Hide were among the Marchers of the vicinity of Drogheda,
     summoned to attend John D’Arcy, Justiciary, with men and horses into Scotland.. . .
     In 1414, Henry V. granted to Sir Walter de la Hide the annual sum of Forty Marks, . . .


     Sir
Roger de la Hyde (son of Gilbert, above), who
     (commissioned in A.D. 1217 to enroll his relatives
     and friends under the banner of the Earl Regent) in
     A.D. 1234 is found holding the manor of La Hyde
     (part of the Royal Honour of Wallingford).
     He left issue, two sons:
     1. Richard (Sir), of whom presently.
     2. Roger (Sir)

         [Research Note: Composite records indicate, that by 1227 Roger de la Hyde held
         land in Stoke. (fn. 129)  He was probably the same as the Sir Roger de la Hyde
         who held there and who also had land in Goring in the early 1250's. (fn. 130)  In
         1279 Sir Richard de la Hyde, Sir Roger's son, had an estate of more than 4 virgates
         in Stoke, (fn. 131) as well as land in Burcot and Adwell. (fn. 132) He was a prominent
         local knight, and was still alive in 1305. (fn. 133)  The De la Hydes were an important
         Berkshire family, but it has not been possible to trace this branch. (fn. 134)
         Isabella de la Hyde may have been holding the estate in 1366, and at some time
         in the 15th century it belonged to John Hyde. (fn. 135)  His grandson Thomas held
         it until 1503, (fn. 136) and it then came into the possession of Sir Bartholomew Rede
         (d. 1505), goldsmith and lord mayor of London. (fn. 137)

     Amongst the advantages enjoyed by those who take an interest in tracing out
     their pedigree are the kindness and courtesy it developes in friends and others
     who become aware of the object of the search.  A friend, knowing my hobby,
     informed me that he had seen in the City an ancient Missal, in which were
     recorded many particulars respecting persons of the name of Hyde. . . .
     I had the pleasure of calling upon the Rev. John C. Jackson, . . . who most
     courteously allowed me the inspect the MS. I wanted to see.  It far exceeded
     my most sanguine expectations.  It was the Great Antiphoner of Salisbury
     and Norwich, being the entire Breviary, with all the musical notes, the Kalender
     being in the middle.  It consists of 359 large folio leaves, and is written on vellum,
     apparently about the beginning of the fifteenth century. . . . service book used in
     Denchworth Church, Berkshire, and had been in use in the reign of Henry VIII.,
     because the word "Papa" was erased, in compliance with his orders, and also
     the name of St. Thomas of Canterbury, whom the king considered to have been
     a traitor.  . . . Written upon the blank spaces in the Kalendar were the dates
     of the birth and death of many members of the Hyde family, who lived for centuries
     at Denchworth, and built the church.  These are the most numerous.  There are,
     however, several other names mentioned, and in addition is a memorandum, . . . ,
     which seems of earlier date than 1135, when the death of John Hyde, Esqr.,
     is recorded in the last year of Henry I.  Written in a blank space in January,
     evidently by a regular scribe, is:-- . . . "Mem. quod etiam tenentes hujus ville de
     Denchworth tenentur tenere anniversarium cujusdam Johannis Bernardi proxima
     dominica Post Festum Epiphanias pro quo tenendo predicti tenentes habebunt
     unam vaccam ex ordinatione predicti Joh.  Bernard et predicti tenentur solido
     le belman id. ibidem qui pro tempore fidit annatim et cuicumque vicario ibidem
     qui pro tempore fidit dicenti placebo et dirige iid. ac clerico ibidem pulsanti le
     Knylle annatim id. ac offerandum dominica die predicta ad altam missam ibidem
     pro anima dicti Johannis ac aliorum benefactorum Suorum iiid.  Pro hac materia
     quaere si vis in le Courte Rowll de tenura de Denceworth Secunda linea
     post conquestum."
     The book being a large folio, and a page given for each month, frequent blank
     spaces occur between the days, some of the lines being only partly filled.  In these
     spaces were entered the births and deaths which the church desired to remember
     on their particular days.  The Kalendar, being in the centre of the book, could be
     easily turned to by the priest when performing the service.  The entries are made
     sometimes between the lines, rendering it difficult to determine whether they
     belonged to day the nth or 12th; in such cases the day of the month is given
     in the entry.  They come according to the days in the month; in the following list
     I give them chronologically :--
     13 July. "Obitis Johannis Hyde Armiger,
     ultimo Henrici primi Anno MiH(mo  )C(mo) Trigis(mo) V(t0)."
     Sept. 9. "Obitus Rodulphi Hyde Armigeri An(0) D'n Millis(0) C0 L0 vi(o) a(0) Reg.

     Jan. 11. " Obitus Richardi Hyde Militis Mill(mo) cc(mo) Septisag(mo) viiiTM Anno

     May 13. "Obitus Johannis Hyde anno domini Mill(o) cccxvi(o) et anno Regis
     Henrici Quarto post Conquest Quarto."
     July 2i. "Obitus Johannis Hyde Armiger anno domini Mill(m0) ccc0 xlvii0
     anno regni Regis Henrici Sexti post conquestum Angliae vicessimo sexto
     litera dominicalis F."
     May 29. "Obitus Agnetis Hyde anno dom' M, cccclxviii(0) anno regis Edwardi
     quarti post conquestum Angliae xviii."

     October 4. "Obitus Oliveri Hide Armiger. A(0) D'ni Mil'imo v(mo) xv(t0) et an(0)
     Regni Regis Henrici Octavi Septimo Vid' quarto die Octobris Litera Domin"(8)
     G."
     April 2. "Will(mna) Hyde Alius et Heres Wyll(llll) Hyde Suam Accipit
     peregrinationem in hunc mund(um) anno nostre salutis M yoento[xvjjj et anno]
     R[e]g[nj] Regis Octavi 3(mo) videlicet 2(nd) die mensis Aprilis."
     Feb. 29. "Obitus Bartholomia Yate mercatoris Ville Stapule Calisie an(0) Dni.
     M ccccc vicessimo viz. ultimo die mensis Februarii Cujuis Animae propicietur
     Deus.  Amen litera dominicalis D. Cujus Animae propinetur Deus. Amen."
     May 5. "Obitus Agnetis Hyde anno domini M0 cccccxxiii et anno regis
     Henrici Octavi XV(0) Videlicit quinto die mensis Maii tunc litera Dominicalis
     D. Cujus Animae propinetur Deus.  Amen."
     The last entry with a date is:--
     May 3. "Obitus Willmi Hyde Anno D'ni M(Bm0) ccccclvii anno regni Mariae
     tercio Videlicit tercio die mensis Maii tunc litera dominicalis D."
     There are several births registered of Hyde children; aud also, but without date
     other than that of the month:--
     24 Jan. "Obitus Wilhelmi Wyblyn et Marion Uxoris Suae et Solutum pro
     dirige et Missa."
     26 Jan. "Johannis Wyblyn et Willi Marcer et dirige et Missa."  On a
     tombstone in Denchworth Churchyard it is stated that that the Wyblyns were
     in the parish for five hundred years.
     IS Oct "Will" Yong obitus. A man of that name witnessed one of the Hyde
     deeds mentioned in Clarke's 'Hundred of Wanting,' p. 98, A.D. 1398.
     "12 Maij. Obitus Rogeri Merlow xii Mayi anno Regis Edwardi quarti post
     Conquestum 2(d0) [1462]."
     He witnessed a deed at p. 99 of Clarke's 'Hundred of Wanting, ' A.D. 1448.
     The church registers commence with 1538, between which date and 1557
     no entry has been made in the service book.  Probably the book was brought
     into use again in Queen Mary's reign, and was not used afterwards.  It seems
     as if when this new book was purchased the entries up to 1446 were copied
     into it from the old book, and that the subsequent records were written as they
     occurred.  Bartholomew Yate, merchant of the Staple of the town of Calis, was
     probably father or uncle of the Rev. Peter Yate, M.A., the vicar, who was instituted
     on May 16, 1514, and resigned, his successor being instituted on January 2, 1521.
     I presume that this service book would still be legal evidence of the facts it records.
     It is not often that men can see the actual entries recording the death of ancestors up
     to twenty, and probably twenty-five generations, as in all likelihood John Hyde (1135)
     and Rodolph Hyde (1156) were ancestors of Sir Richard Hyde, whose descendant I am.
     The book is now in the possession of Miss Hyde, Denchwoth, South Park Road, Oxford.
     If any of your readers can give me information respecting John Bernard, John Hyde
     (1135), and Rodolph Hyde (1156), I shall be greatly obliged.
